Seed regeneration is necessary when germination rates fall below 85% or seed quantity decreases. Regeneration ensures adequate seed stocks for distribution and conservation. A regeneration plan identifies which accessions need regeneration based on viability and availability. For sorghum accession regeneration, seeds are planted in well-managed field plots at a density of 50+ plants per accession. Seed is harvested once mature, processed, tested, and stored to maintain genetic integrity. Thorough documentation tracks regeneration activities and results.

Abstract
Production potential of sweetpotato is not realised in most regions experiencing dry spells after the growing season in sub-Saharan Africa due to lack of planting material at the beginning of the rainy season. Identifying cultivars with ability to survive a 4- to 7-month dry spell is worthwhile in improving the sweetpotato seed system in these regions. The objective of the study was to estimate survival of vines under drought stress in a collection of sweetpotato clones. Three treatments (different harvesting times set as 5, 9, and 11 months after planting) were established at Umbeluzi, Nwallate, and Gurué in February 2015. In each treatment, 37 sweetpotato clones (18 released varieties, 8 landraces, 2 check clones, and 9 foreign introductions) were evaluated in a randomised complete block design with two replications. Data collected on storage root and vine yield, virus infection, vine length, and number of sprouts were subjected to analysis of variance using SAS 1996. Clone performance varied significantly within treatments. There was a significant drop in vine yield as the harvesting period increased from 5 months at all sites. Introduced variety ‘Resisto’ had long stems but no vines remaining after 9 months at all sites. Length and thickness of vine in a clone could be traits responsible for drought tolerance in sweetpotato. Spatial soil differences affected survival of vines. Most clones could not survive after 7 months at Gurué where the soils are lighter in texture and have low capacity to retain water. At Gurué, the inability to survive for long periods was exacerbated by virus infection. Gurué is an important site for virus screening in the breeding programme. A 6–8% significant increase of storage root yield between the 5 and 9 months’ harvest was recorded at Umbeluzi and Nwallate, respectively. Vines partitioned photosynthates to storage roots during prolonged dry spells— another indication of survival. The ability of some clones to reach 9 and 11 months with few vines at Umbeluzi and Nwallate offers a source of planting material for the subsequent season. This planting material is also an important source of food for farmers since home storage of roots usually does not go beyond 3 months. The rates of sprouting were also significantly different among clones. The released varieties group sprouted earlier than others; ‘Melinda’ was the earliest. Total biomass and plant architecture are key to vine survival under long dry spells in sweetpotato.

3. 1. What is Regeneration?
• Regeneration is the renewal of germplasm accessions by sowing seeds or
planting vegetative materials and harvesting which will posses the same
characteristics as the original population
• Seeds in storage lose viability or become depleted in quantity over time
• Thus, Regeneration of conserved accessions in storage is made when the seed
quality(germination) or the seed quantity, or both, fall below a certain critical
level.
• Critical level = Germination percentage below 85% of the initial value
= Available seed packets become 2 and less
4. 2. Why is Regeneration Necessary?
• Initial seed increase or multiplication(new collections or materials
received by donation insufficient)
• Long-term conservation (accessions that are not yet in the base
collection)
• Replenish seed stocks in active and base collections
• Seed regeneration should be done for accessions that have:
Low viability identified during periodical monitoring (regeneration)
Insufficient stocks for either distribution or conservation (multiplication)
Fresh and/or Enough seed is available for users
5. Procedures for regeneration
1. Selection of accessions, using the passport data
2. Preparation of regeneration plots
3. Sowing and crop management
6. 4. Determining and using appropriate pollination control for out
breeders
oPollination can be cross pollination or self pollination.
o it is important to properly control cross-pollination by wind and
insects by using cluster bagging
for maintain the genetic integrity of individual accessions.

• Which accessions and species has an urgent needs?
• What is the last viability percentage of the accession?
Regeneration sites of the crops
10. Regeneration of sorghum
• Sorghum (Sorghum bicolor (L.) Moench.) belongs to the Poaceae
family .
• It is considered to be one of the most important cereal crops in the
world
When to regenerate
• When germination falls below 85%.
• Available seed packets become 2 and less
11. Cont…….
Seed sample
• Sorghum is seed propagated. To maintain genetic integrity, use seed
from the original source as far as possible.
• At least 50 plants are required for regeneration, preferably more.
• About 8–15 g of seed (depending on seed size) are required for
regenerating an accession.
• For each accession, prepare one seed packet for planting each row.
• Label the packets with identification number and row number and
arrange them according to field lay-out.
12. Cont……
Field selection and preparation
• Select fields in which sorghum was not grown in the previous year.
• Choose a field with good drainage that is weed-free at the time of
sowing to ensure a good reserve of soil moisture.
• Prepare the land to a fine tilth by deep ploughing,.
• Level the field and make ridges 75 cm apart. This facilitates better
establishment of seedlings and plant stands.
13. Planting layout, density and distance
• Divide the field into plots (also known as tiers), leaving 1-m walking space
between them. The plots can vary from 3 to 9 m wide depending on the
size of the field.
• Mark rows 75 cm apart across each tier, perpendicular to the length of the
field, giving rows of 3–9 m long, depending on the width of the plot.
• Ensure a minimum distance of 3 m between different accessions.
Planting method
• Assign row numbers in a serpentine pattern (i.e. planting from left to right
in the first row followed by right to left in the second row or vice versa).
• Sow mechanically by using hand
14. Cont………
Labelling
• Label each accession with a tag fastened to a stake about knee height.
• Use strong paper for tags to withstand weathering.
Crop management
• Cover the panicles in well labelled paper bags
• Remove bags after 21 days
Fertilization
• Apply fertilizers (nitrogen and phosphorus, each at 40 kg/ha.
• As a second dose, apply nitrogen at the rate of 40–60 kg/ha between rows
30 days after planting.
15. Weed management
• The crop was kept free from weeds
Harvesting
• Identify seed maturity by the formation of a black layer on the seeds.
• Harvest and thresh seed manually.
• Cut the panicles and Collect panicles from each plot in a well-labelled
bag (label both inside and out with accession and plot numbers).
16. Cont…..
Post-harvest management
• Dry panicles in shade for a week until seed moisture content are reduced to 12% (ideal
for hand threshing).
• Thresh individual panicles by beating gently and clean the seeds.
• Verify accession identity using seed traits
• Send a representative sample for observations on seed traits,
• Collect the seeds in a labelled muslin cloth bag for further drying,
• preferably at a lower temperature and relative humidity (20–25°C and about 30–40%
relative humidity).
• Keep seeds at these conditions until seed moisture is 8–9% (for medium-term
conservation).
• For long-term conservation, dry the seeds to 5–7% moisture content.
• Seed health and viability testing.
• Pack seeds in moisture-impermeable containers (aluminium foil) for conservation and
distribution.
17. Cont…..
Documentation of information during regeneration
• Regeneration site name and map/GPS reference
• Name of collaborator
• Field/plot/nursery/greenhouse reference
• Accession number; population identification
• Source of seed
• Generation or previous multiplication or regeneration (if generation is not
known)
• Preparation of planting materials (pre-treatments)
• Sowing date and density
• Field layout used
18. Cont…..

stresses recorded, others)
• Environmental conditions (altitude, precipitation, soil type, others)
• Emergence in the field or greenhouse (number of plants germinated)
